PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (WCAX) - A Plattsburgh man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for assault and attempted murder related to what police say was a drug deal gone bad.
Clarence Jackson, 47, was arrested in March 2022 for striking a man in the head with the butt-end of a rifle, causing serious injury. He was later indicted for attempted murder stemming from a second incident where police say he shot a man in the back in the town of Plattsburgh.
Jackson pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and second-degree attempted murder in January.
